Materials used were 37 Ongole crossbred weaning calve consisted of 28 males and 9 females calves of 8 -11 months old, which wereheld for six months in the housing experiment Beef Cattle Research. The method used a randomized block design with three treatment groups of houses, namely Group A consists of individual houses with male calves per pen; Group B consists of five male calves; and Group C consists of five male calves and three young female calves. Each treatment group was done in three replications. The data were analyzed using a completely randomized design with Two Way Anova of Microsoft Excel 2007. The results of semen reservoirs with electroejaculator shows the percentage motility of the individual spermatozoa with a minimum of 10% and a minimum concentration of 50 million/ml, that is male calves housing A = 1 head; B = 4 heads and C = 3 heads. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) semen reservoirs not significantly different (P> 0.05) of the three treatments.
